@caseopened as trapper said: oh, i’m just sort of traveling through.
the graduate.
mutt's lips thin. he's working with an ancient in-ground spigot, waiting for it to spit out water. " are you. " it doesn't sound like a question.
he doesn't turn his back on the man whose eyes are as gentle and playful as a farm dog's. he knows better.
the shock of the icy water sends him to sucking on his fingers to pull some warmth back into them. he watches it choke and sputter, wondering if he'll get anything resembling warm. (it is fine, if he doesn't.) with a cough, jets of boiling water finally streamed out.
he's not even going to entertain slipping his layers off. he knows better. (saves him the throat-pitching that happens every time he sees himself, anyway.) instead, he reaches down through his collars to rub under his arms with the old rag until it feels raw. he then swipes it back and forth across his neck.
" seems to be everyone is, these days. "

@bythetale as sonny said: you should wash your face and hands before going to town.
an cailín ciúin.
he hadn't thought about that, but he figures sonny makes a point. he's got to take advantage of running water while he has it.
there's a pointed effort to avoid looking up into the small mirror in front of him. he splashes lukewarm water on his face, once, twice, stalls for a few seconds, thrice. after washing his hands, instead of rubbing them dry, he runs his damp hands through his hair, pushing it back and away from his forehead. it'll fall back, naturally enough.
" any last minute things you need before i go? "
